Neverthelss, I am Still shines a light on the potential that exists on the other side of choosing to go flat after mastectomy…

Despite what society says. Despite what a healthcare provider or even loved ones may say.

It answers the questions that many who are facing mastectomies ask. If I choose to go flat will I still feel feminine? Beautiful? Will I still feel like me?

Despite being a safe and healthy breast reconstruction option, Aesthetic Flat Closure (the medical term for going flat after mastectomy) is not always offered to patients, performed well, or supported by healthcare providers and society. Outdated narratives around breasts and beauty are leaving breast cancer and high risk patients physically, emotionally, and financially harmed.

This looks like not being told going flat is an option, being talked out of going flat, breast implant illness symptoms being gaslit, being left disfigured by surgeons who blatantly disregard a patient’s wishes to go flat, the choice to go flat being unsupported by loved ones, enduring multiple surgeries—and coping with the emotional and financial tolls of all these things—at time when life is already challenging, if not downright frightening.

Societal tropes tell women in particular that they cannot be themselves, whole, or happy without breasts. But many that have made this reconstruction choice tell a different story—one of beauty, confidence, strength, femininity, empowerment, and dare we say, badassery.

Still is a diverse curated collection of Stories + Images that illustrates this truth, showing how those who have made this reconstruction choice are emphatically Still themselves. Still fabulous. Still fierce. Still living, and so much more.

Nevertheless, I am Still honors the strength and agency of breast cancer patients and those at high risk who choose to go flat rather than undergo breast mound reconstruction—while also shedding light on the challenges they face and the powerful truths that emerge from that choice.

This idea has turned into so much more. This is hope for the ones who were told different, the ones who don’t realize what we already have…WE DEFINE US!

[Still] is creating images that change the trajectory of conversations and change our perception of beauty. I’ve never been surrounded by more power in my career.

This [Still post] just saved my whole heart from dissolving today. I’m a uniboob after my DIEPFlap reconstruction failed last year. As I was runnin’ out the door to take a dip in the lake, my aunt shoved a pair of socks in my bathing suit top. I’m not sure anything in my #titshit journey has cut like that did.

This project will help revolutionize the way women (and the world for that matter) understand what it means to be beautiful!
— Farahana, Still Flattie

I knew that flat was the best of the underirable options before me. I honestly don’t know if I would have known it was an option if it wasn’t for the folks that showed up in all their beauty, to share their experiences with going flat.

My friends just assumed I’d come out of it with “boobs”. I was like, why would you assume that? I’m gonna rock being a Flattie! I think I’ve educated lots of folks about options. Such a personal decision and each person needs to be confident in their choice, while we all support one another!!

In the midst of making  a plethora of choices regarding our very survival, every one of us made a choice - a choice that was questioned by the medical field, by society, by friends and family. Are you sure? As if it's the most abnormal choice in the world.
— Sheryl, Still Flattie

My doctor said that women who had [breast mound] reconstruction have a proven better quality of life and AFC was not provided as an option. I had to advocate for myself. I wished I had brought my doctor some pictures. How great it would have been to share pictures of happy, confident women, still thriving and living amazing lives, proving that quality of life is not based on the mound on your chest but the person you are within.

Thank you for sharing this. I feel less alone, more connected to a world of love.
